Well, lets first look at what the term, “artificial” means. According to Webster, artificial is“something made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, typically as a copy of something natural.” Hmmmm…. why not just use the real thing then? God has made food perfect in itself, humans are destroying it. Food Manufacturer love it because artificial ingredients are cheap ingredients. The added colors, flavorings, preservatives, sweeteners, fats, etc. that all wreck havoc on not only your waist line, but ultimately, and more importantly, your health. Here are some shockingly scary statistics, according to Vani Hari…

More than two-thirds of United States citizens are overweight – 33% being obese.

32% of children are either obese or overweight.

43% of Americans are projected to be obese in 10 years.

After smoking, obesity is America’s biggest cause of premature death and is linked to 70% of heart disease and 80% of diabetes cases.

Plain and simple, our country is SICK! Most people are calorie conscience, not ingredient conscience. They read the labels (or NOT!), making sure it is a low-calorie choice, but not making sure it’s a non-toxic, natural choice. All the convenient foods that flood the super markets, the fast food, soda’s, energy drinks, and yes even your favorite chewing gum (!), are killing us! The liver, naturally detoxify’s the body by removing any harmful foreign substances and metabolizes fat, protein and carbohydrates. However, it is having to work overtime on trying to get rid of all of the unnatural, artificial ingredients that we consume, that it ends up spending LESS time metabolizing fat, protein and carbohydrates and stores it as fat. So we just get fatter, unhealthy, and sicker. Not only that, excess toxins end up getting stored in our body fat, which even makes it THAT much harder to lose the weight, and can lead to CANCER! So where are these bad boys hiding?
